Kyrie Irving apologized Thursday for posting a documentary with antisemitic conspiracy theories and falsehoods on Twitter, a few hours after he was suspended five games without pay by the Brooklyn Nets.

The apology, published on Instagram, came a little more than a week after the Nets star posted the offensive tweet, which has since been deleted.

Irving conceded the video "contained some false anti-Semitic statements, narratives, and languages that were untrue and offensive to the Jewish Race/Religion." He went on to directly apologize to the Jewish community, though he indicated there were some parts of the documentary he still agrees with.
